I can't tell. Are we David? Or they Goliath?

[Mike Sixel]

Lots of pitches for Gray tonight....sigh. But, you know, he's good at this.

Yup. We would also have accepted Cave catches that, 'cause, well, he did.

Max Kepler (fractured right fifth toe) said he's been running, hitting and throwing and felt fine

after doing outfield work yesterday. Said he'd be back "soon."

Rocco couldn't say for sure, but said it's "possible" Kepler is active this weekend. Eligible for activation Saturday.

Yes, you have not had enough scotch. Squirrel was agreeing. I think. I too have not had enough booze ....well, any, yet.

They did a great job with the all star game this year. Especially when Manoah  was mic’d up on the mound.

Oh, now I see.  I've been looking in the wrong place!

A 3-0 double play. Teoscar Hernandez should automatically be benched for the rest of the game

Or a Game Threader that's had too much Scotch.

 

Luckily for me, it's been documented that that isn't me!

Ah! As in the count was 3-0.

 

For a moment i thought that was the fielding line... first base to... designated hitter?

[BH67]

33 balls, 32 strikes, and nary a hit through 4 innings for Sonny Gray.

Whatever works...

ACB out on 9 pitches first time around.  Can only go up.

[sampleSizeOfOne]

Come backer!

 

We have base runner!

[Mill1634]

Manoah took a ball off the elbow in his last start. Worth noting. 

[ashbury]

C4 breaks up the no-no.

Won't be the game where he gets his first CG as a Twin, though.

[USAFChief]

Gladden on the mike: I knew Correa hit a line drive off the pitcher, knew the ball deflected toward third base...but didn't know if Correa was safe or out until there was a force play at 2nd.

 

Nice announcing, dazzle man.

[sampleSizeOfOne]

Gordon time!
